Local Species Insights: King Mackerel
King mackerel (Scomberomorus cavalla) are one of the most exciting gamefish you can target in Riviera Beach waters. These hard-fighting speedsters are known for blistering runs that will test both your tackle and your fighting technique. In the waters off Palm Beach County, Kings typically range from 10-30 pounds, though specimens over 40 pounds aren't uncommon.
Captain Rich has perfected techniques for targeting these fish, which prefer to stay in the water column where bait is present. Trolling with live blue runners or sardines is particularly effective, as is slow-trolling with wire leaders to prevent bite-offs from their razor-sharp teeth. During our Wednesday March trip, we found them in 80-150 feet of water, where the Gulf Stream current creates ideal feeding conditions.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When booking with Tuna Wahoo Charters, plan to arrive at the marina 15-30 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Bring sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), a light jacket for morning trips, non-marking shoes, and any food or drinks you'd like for the day. A small cooler is fine, but nothing too large as space is limited.
The boat comfortably accommodates up to 6 anglers and includes a restroom facility on board. Captain Rich provides all necessary fishing equipment including rods, reels, tackle, and bait. Remember to bring a camera or smartphone to capture your catches, and don't forget cash for tipping the mate (customary 15-20% of charter cost) and covering any live bait expenses. The team will clean your catch at the end of the trip if you'd like to take home some fresh fish for dinner.
